Justin and I bought Bitsy 2 days before our wedding as a gift to one another.
When Bitsy was about 10 months old we decided we wanted a second dog, so we found a lady who was looking for a home for her daughters min-pin. Her daughter lived in texas and was getting a divorce and couldn't keep her dog, so she put him on a plane to her mom. She also didn't want the dog, as he was 2 years old and not at all house trained or neutered. Justin and I went to meet "Shortie" and fell in love with him the moment we saw him. When we got him home we changed his name to "Charlie". Three days after he came home with us he was neutered. We worked with him and got him on a schedule and before long he was house trained.

Just 3 months after we got Charlie, a lady I hardly knew wanted to give me Buster, one of her 4 chihuahuas. We felt we needed to take him to get him out of the home he was in. The 4 dogs had NEVER been outside before and the house was dark and filled with cigarette smoke. The dogs went potty on newspapers. The house was dirty and there was trash everywhere. I also found out that the woman's grandson who was in his 20's was abusive to the dogs. We wish that we could've gotten all 4 chihuahuas and found them good homes, but at least we got Buster. He now loves to go outside and bask in the sun.

We just got Nacey back, we had fostered her for a few weeks, about a month and a half ago. She is 9 months old and was passed around to 3 different homes before coming to me, because no one would take the time to work with her and train her. Well, now she is in her forever home and we love her very much.
